Not only is it great for dry patches and sore spots on children, I have found so many uses for me. First up, it's a great lip balm and cuticle treatment, sinking in quickly, and leaving them soft. I've also recently developed some eczema (I think a result of me cutting out meat and dairy, without upping my seed and nut intake enough...but more on that another time), and this balm instantly relieved itching and tightness on the super dry patches. The body wash has also been great for washing my dry skin, with no chemicsls to irritate it. Finally, I have been using it as a cleansing balm, massaging it in to my skin, them using a hot cloth to remove it. It leaves skin so clean and fresh, I love it.
